Bubblegum Hypnosis - Astral Session (Full Performance)

Bristol's experimental psych-rock trio Bubblegum Hypnosis have brought their thunderous sound to the Astral Radio studio for our latest session. Fresh off their new album "Through the Sands" via Stolen Body Records, these three absolute units know how to make noise.

True to their "anything goes attitude," Bubblegum Hypnosis traversed multiple sonic territories - eastern psych influences, prog-tinged madness, and garage fury. As they put it: "Sometimes dirty, sometimes clean; sometimes reggae, sometimes mean" - but always played LOUD.

The trio have earned their stripes opening for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Acid Mothers Temple, and Temples. If you dig King Gizzard, Osees, or just love music that hits you like a freight train of fuzz and fury, this session is for you.

Our session captures them in their natural habitat - loud, uncompromising, and utterly captivating. Whether you're discovering them for the first time or already know their work, this is essential viewing for anyone who believes music should be experienced at maximum volume.
